Overhaul of the locomotive engine was carried out at the Northern Mining

Metinvest-Promservice’s specialists overhauled the internal combustion engine on the 2TE10M diesel locomotive at the Northern Mining and Processing Plant (Northern GOK). Metinvest Kryvyi Rih reported about it on its Facebook page.

“In these difficult times for the country, the specialists of Metinvest-Promservice are keeping their Steel Front. They are once again mastering new types of work,” the message says.

Major overhaul was carried out in order to be ready for the resumption of production. Pistons and sleeves were replaced, and the fuel system was also restored. The warranty is three years.

Similar work on the restoration of engines continues on other locomotives. Metinvest allocated more than UAH 2.3 million for the repair of two diesel locomotives.

As GMK Center reported earlier, the Northern GOK has completed the repair of the electrofilter on the LURGI 552B roasting machine in the pellet production workshop №2. Investments in the repair of the unit amounted to UAH 1 million. Metinvest Promservice’s specialists had been working on the restoration of the electrofilter for a month. All work was performed in difficult conditions – at height and in a closed space in compliance with occupational health and safety requirements.

In addition, Northern GOK allocated UAH 6 million to carry out the second stage of repair of the LURGI 552A roasting machine in the pellet production shop №2. After the resumption of production, the LURGI 552A can produce 500 tons of high-quality pellets per hour without excessive energy consumption.

As GMK Center wrote before, Zaporizhstal Iron and Steel Works carried out current repairs on the BTA-4 line of the cold rolling shop, increasing the productivity and wear resistance of the equipment.
